How it works
What the first two weeks look like
Install in Slack. Five minutes.
Add Vera to Slack, connect your dev tools. Your team never signs up for anything. Standups start flowing immediately.
See how setup worksVera starts catching things.
Missed standups, stalled PRs, quiet engineers — surfaced automatically. Vera DMs your team before you have to chase anyone.
See what Vera catchesYou realize what you were missing.
The blocked PR nobody mentioned. The engineer who went quiet. The action item from 3 weeks ago. Vera was tracking it all while you were building.

Other tools measure things and hand you a dashboard. Vera does what happens next.

The work between measurement and action
Collects
Standups, check-ins, goals — automatically from the tools you already use
Detects
Blockers, stalled work, missed standups, things going quiet
Follows up
Nudges via Slack DM, updates goals, preps your 1:1s
Other tools give you data. Vera does the work.
One tool instead of three.
Vera replaces your standup bot, your 1:1 prep doc, and your follow-up spreadsheet. Fewer seats, fewer integrations, fewer things nobody opens after week two.
